Santa Maria della Pieve: The church is documented since as
early as 1008, and, during the communal period of Arezzo, it was the
stronghold of the city's struggle against its bishops. After the latter
built the nearby Cathedral and palace, the church, which had been already
rebuilt in the 12th century, was further renovated with the façade and the
apse, and the interior was remade in Gothic style (13th century). The bell
tower, finished in 1330, is in Romanesque style.
